Modi to address rallies in UP today, to campaign for Hema Malini

Lucknow: In his most extensive programme in a single day, Bharatiya Janata Party's prime ministerial hopeful Narendra Modi will address rallies in Hardoi, Etah, Hathras, Firozabad and Mathura on Monday. Modi will be campaigning for Bollywood actress and party candidate from Mathura Hema Malini, among others.

Hema Malini pitted against Rashtriya Lok Dal's (RLD) general secretary Jayant Chaudhary, son of party chief Ajit Singh, is also working to woo women electors, which are likely to play an important role in the elections here.

Out of the total 16,83,994 electors in the constituency, 7,50,471 are women. Mathura is going to polls on April 24.

Modi will be seeking support for the yesteryear ‘dream girl’ at two places in Mathura. He will also address a rally for Rajveer Singh, son of former UP chief minister Kalyan Singh.

He will also address rally at Firozabad. Firozabad is a high stakes seat for the ruling Samajwadi Party (SP) as Akshay Pratap Singh, son of senior party leader Ram Gopal Yadav, is the party candidate from here.
